Atmosphere and facility: Very welcoming and family oriented, not one of those let me beat up the new guy type gym. Clean restrooms and they sanitize the mats before and after class. Coach: Respectful and knowledgeable. He is very technical and is shown and proven. Prices: Very reasonable even for a coach of his stature. 10/10 would recommend anyone looking to train and get some great rolls in.

Lycan Mixed Martial Arts has been a game-changer for my son—even in a short time, we’ve seen incredible growth. His confidence, focus, and discipline have all improved. The atmosphere is full of positive energy, and every class pushes him to be better. Coach Nader is truly inspiring—firm, wise, and deeply committed to his students. His approach blends discipline with motivation, helping kids grow not just in Jiu-Jitsu, but in life. You can tell he leads with purpose and heart. We’re so proud to be part of the Lycan family and highly recommend it to anyone looking for real growth and guidance.

What an incredible community! The mats are spacious and impeccably clean. I had an excellent class with Coach Nader, who took the time to ensure I learned the techniques properly and thoroughly. After class, I rolled with well-trained students who were both skilled and mindful, matching my pace and prioritizing safety to prevent injuries. I traveled to Columbia for business, looking for a quick workout over two days, but what I found was a den of wolves—a place where skill, discipline, respect and support thrives. Highly recommend this gym to anyone serious about martial arts, or hobbyists like me.

This place is super dope. The entire team was friendly to me when I dropped in to check it out. If you are asking yourself if you should try Jiu Jitsu, this place is a great place to learn from - highly recommended.

Been training here a few months I’ve been training for 4 years and traveling while training for this past year I just wanted a place to train while I was in town and I feel very grateful to have found Lycan. I’ve met like a dozen pros since I’ve been here! There is a ton of mat space, many class options to fit my schedule, great coaching and the best thing I might have to say is the camaraderie and friendships that have developed. The team is a TEAM, if I don’t show up for too long, someone is always checking in on me. And I’ve had a few time I’ve needed a ride to class and tournaments and before I can ask, it’s offerer. Upper belts are always dropping advice and techniques. And a few guys do private lessons. Thanks so much guys for treating me so well🙏🏽
